Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 9, 1907.

Application filed June 23, 1905. Serial No. 266,661.

To all whmn it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN A. WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Maquoketa, in the county of Jackson and State of Iowa, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Barrel and Box Carriers,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to barrel and box carriers for the purpose oflifting, sliding, and transporting the same, and has for its object toso construct the device that it will be durable, will occupy littlespace, and may be easily and cheaply manufactured.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which likesymbols of reference represent corresponding parts in the several views,Figure 1 is a view of the device in its operative position; Fig. 2, aplan view, partly in section; and Fig. 3 a modifi- .c ation of same.

ranged the same as others and the middle tube being connected to the endpieces by a T-joint 5. This form is particularly adapted for smallboxes, sacks, or the like. It will be noted that the end pieces 2 aremuch smaller in diameter than the longitudinal pieces for the purpose ofenabling the hands of the operator to take hold of the same.

The operation of the device will be apparent from the foregoing. Thebarrel is first tipped, the operator pushes the roller under the samewith his foot, and it may be slid under a counter or the like with case.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a barrel and box carrier, a main quadrilateral frame, consistingof cylindrical members, rollers adapted to operate upon the same,flanges upon the frame upon which the rollers rest, and a reducedportion for the hands of the operator.

2. In a device of the character described, a main frame, elbowsconnecting the portions of the same, flanges upon the elbows, androllers operating upon the flanges.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
